IHEP Offers Recommendations to Ensure that all Pell Grant Recipients Can Participate in the New Emergency Broadband Benefit Program

To help ensure that all Pell Grant recipients are able to receive these benefits with minimal burden and delay, the Institute for Higher Education Policy (IHEP) has submitted recommendations for how the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) can clearly communicate how students can verify their Pell Grant receipt.
